The end of the military era

Even in the Tianshengcheng area, before Ouyang Hui ascended the throne, the power of Xiuyitai almost existed in name only.

After Ouyang Hui ascended the throne, he invested a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to basically re-establish the intelligence network of Xiuyitai in the entire Han and Tang Empire.

Emperor Ouyang Hui's face turned cold when he heard this, "The Zhou family in Ganyang may not be too courageous.

In any case, Xu Wanpeng is the Zhenwei Jiedu envoy officially appointed by the imperial court.

It seems that the Ganyang Zhou family is no different from other families in power, and they don't care about the court at all. "

Prime Minister Guo Fujin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, according to the information obtained by the Xiuyitai, it seems that Xu Wanpeng was not poisoned to death by the Zhou family in Ganyang. murderer."

Emperor Ouyang Hui's expression immediately softened, "I still have a good impression of that Ganyang Zhou family who dared to take on the Silver Wolf Empire.

Since Xu Wanpeng was not poisoned to death by the Zhou family in Ganyang, what do you think, Prime Minister, of Zhou Rui, who took the initiative to canonize the Zhou family in Ganyang, as the new Zhenwei Jiedushi? "

Prime Minister Guo Fujin said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to be more cautious about this matter.

First of all, the imperial court has not voluntarily appointed Jiedu envoys of various feudal towns for many years.

Suddenly appointing Zhou Rui from the Zhou family in Ganyang as Zhenwei Jiedushi, I don't know how other feudal towns will react, and that Zhou Rui may not appreciate it.

Secondly, the expeditionary force of the Silver Wolf Empire is already on its way. If the Ganyang Zhou family fails to hold on this time, it will be another blow to the court's reputation.

Finally, we also have to consider whether the few families in Tiansheng City who control the military power of the imperial army will have any associations because of this matter.

For example, the royal family wants to use the power of Zhenwei Town to regain control of the Forbidden Army. "

Although the courts of the Han and Tang Empires still nominally controlled the Tiansheng City and its four acropolises, as well as some villages and towns around the Tiansheng City.

But there are not many troops that can really be controlled by the imperial court of the Han and Tang Empire, and even the royal family of the Han and Tang Empire.

The troops currently stationed in the Tianshengcheng area are mainly the Forbidden Army of the Han and Tang Empires, with a total of 12 infantry divisions under its jurisdiction, and each infantry division of the Forbidden Army has a staff of about 1.5.

However, these 12 imperial infantry divisions are controlled by the four families of Tiansheng City.

Only the internal guards guarding the imperial palace and the city defense forces responsible for the security of Tiansheng City were directly under the control of the court and royal family of the Han and Tang Empires, but the combined number of these two troops was less than 8000.

Emperor Ouyang Hui waved his hands in a somewhat dispirited manner, "Forget it, let's wait until the Ganyang Zhou family asks for a seal!

It's really boring for me to be the emperor. I don't know if I can completely solve the problem of the separatist regime in my lifetime? "

Prime Minister Guo Fujin said respectfully: "I believe that Your Majesty will fulfill this great wish!"

In a courtyard in Linxing City, Lu Qiudao, the former deputy commander of the Second Division of the Zhenwei Army, was drinking tea with He Zhonghou, the former director of the intelligence department of the Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion.

Lu Qiudao took a sip from his teacup, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Brother He, I heard that Xu Wanpeng was poisoned to death, do you know?"

He Zhonghou said with a smile: "I don't care whether Xu Wanpeng is dead or alive. In a few days, I will leave Linxing City with my family and settle in Tiansheng City."

"Brother He, you didn't do it, did you?"

"Hehe, Brother Lu was joking, I have already handed over the entire intelligence department, how can there be so much energy to poison Xu Wanpeng and several of his nephews to death in the dungeon of Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion.

But after Xu Wanpeng and his nephews died, we no longer have to worry about the Xu family's revenge. "

Chapter 1 Arrival

On the morning of February 1537, 2, a large fleet arrived at the Silver Wolf Empire Naval Base on Pusha Island.

And this huge fleet is the expeditionary force sent by the Silver Wolf Empire from the mainland.

On the pier at the port of Pusa Island, Longela, the commander of the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire, smiled and said to the two wolf men wearing the rank of lieutenant general: "Welcome General Bullitt and General Peg Pusa Island."

Bullitt is the commander of the No.14 Army of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire, and Pegg is the deputy commander of the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire.

Pegg immediately said with a smile: "Old classmate, we haven't seen each other for at least three or four years. Judging by your size, living here in Pusha Island is still very comfortable."

Longella and Pegg used to be classmates at the Royal Navy Command Academy of the Silver Wolf Empire, and they had a pretty good relationship.

Longella sighed and said: "If I live comfortably, I don't need the empire to dispatch an expeditionary force.

I didn't expect that a small family in the Han and Tang Empires would make our Third Fleet suffer a small loss. "

At this time, the expressionless No.14 Army Commander Bullitt said: "General Longella, my soldiers are very tired after sitting on the boat for more than ten days. Sample?"

Longella hurriedly said: "Don't worry, General Bullitt, the lodgings are ready, and the soldiers of the No.14 Army can disembark and rest now.

In addition, at noon, I hosted a banquet at the headquarters of the Third Fleet to welcome General Bullitt and General Pegg. "

Longella was actually very unwilling to deal with Bullitt. Among the army of the Silver Wolf Empire, Bullitt was very famous for his rigidity, stubbornness, and inhumanity.

Longella also heard that Bullitt once slapped the previous Deputy Minister of War of the Silver Wolf Empire.

However, because Bullitt's family has some connections with the royal family of the Silver Wolf Empire, the last incident was just let go, and Bullitt was not punished.

Of course, Bullitt is still very talented in military affairs. The No.14 Army is considered to be a group army with relatively strong combat effectiveness in the Silver Wolf Empire Army.

At noon that day, in the small cafeteria of the Third Fleet Headquarters of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy on Pusha Island, several senior officers from the Second Fleet and Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire, as well as members of the No.14 Army of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire Several senior military officers sat at a round table and were changing glasses.

Ye Erke, the temporary commander who commanded the naval battle on Xiangshi Island, also participated in the banquet at the request of Pegg.

"Brigadier General Yerk, what's your opinion on the Ganyang Zhou family's coastal defense fleet?" Pegg asked.

Yerk put down the wine glass in his hand, and the expression on his face became serious, "Lieutenant General, although the professional skills of those human naval officers and soldiers are poor, they do not lack courage.

In addition, they also have 11 battleships with full main guns. It will not be too easy for us to defeat them, and we may still have to bear a lot of losses. "

Pegg nodded slightly, then turned his head and said to Longella, the commander of the Third Fleet: "Old classmate, this time the Ministry of the Navy appointed me as the joint commander of the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet.

It is hoped that the Third Fleet can put all the battleships that can be used in battle into the sequence of the expeditionary force for the time being. "

Longella immediately said: "No problem, except for the Javelin battleship which is still under maintenance, the remaining 6 battleships with main guns and 9 battleships with full steel are ready to join the Second Fleet at any time.

The other warships of our Third Fleet are also at your disposal, Peg. "

"Longella, do you have any clues about the origin of the 14 full-armed battleships?"

"No! There is no clue at all. The 14 full-armed battleships seemed to appear out of thin air.

I even doubt whether there are different time and space nodes connecting other Ming worlds besides the different time and space nodes connecting our spirit race world? "

The No. 14 Army Commander Bullitt said in a deep voice at this time: "General Longella, it's best not to speculate on things without evidence.

Your suspicion is really shocking. Can you be responsible for the consequences caused by it? "

Longella smiled awkwardly, "I just said it casually, General Bullitt must not take it seriously."

Bullitt snorted coldly, "General Longella, please always remember your identity.
